On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds
There are only a few places on earth where thousand year old trees still stand. The west coast of Canada is one of them but every day they are logged.
Time to stop the logging: https://t.co/2BqgTy3DhB #ProtecttheIrreplaceable#ActOnClimate#nature pics @TJWattPhoto#cop16cali

We can't solve this emergency if we keep expanding the problem. #ActOnClimate#Climate#energy#renewables#go100re
BREAKING: Republicans pass the "Big Beautiful Bill".
Here's the simply Truth:
Republicans have been lying to you for decades. This is what the "Big Beautiful Bill" will do:
- Raises Deficit by $3,400,000,000,000.00 over 10 years.
- Keeps the SALT cap hike that showers aid on millionaires in blue states
- Paid family leave slashed from 12 weeks to zero in final framework
- Prescription-drug negotiation covers only a handful of medicines, years in the future
- Leaves fossil-fuel subsidies on the books while offering new drilling leases
- No public option or Medicare-for-All pilot—private insurers still dominate
- Child-tax-credit boost made temporary, not permanent, risking a poverty snapback
- Drops free community college, a signature Biden promise
- Immigration reform gutted to a study and some parole extensions
- Climate spending relies on tax credits, not binding clean-energy standards
- Corporate minimum tax set at 15 %, below Reagan-era levels
- Wealth surtax kicks in only after $10 million—no broader wealth tax
- Leaves capital-gains loophole (step-up basis) completely intact
- Billionaire income tax scrapped after Manchin pushback
- Universal pre-K funded for just six years—states could face a cliff
- Housing dollars chopped nearly in half during negotiations
- No cap on sky-high rents or meaningful tenant protections
- Fails to close the carried-interest loophole for private-equity managers
- IRS enforcement money trimmed, weakening hopes of taxing the rich fairly
- Keeps inheritance tax threshold at an historically high $12 million
- No $15 minimum wage or any federal wage hike at all
- Gig-worker protections and PRO Act labor reforms left out entirely
- Rural broadband funds pared back, delaying equity for small towns
- Surtax on stock buybacks watered down and delayed
- Defense budget untouched while social spending is means-tested
- Means testing everywhere—adds red tape for childcare, college, health credits
- CBO score still adds to deficit after gimmicky phase-outs
- Relies on temporary programs to hide real decade-long costs
- Leaves D.C. statehood and voting-rights funding off the table
- Drops the Civilian Climate Corps that excited young progressives
- Keeps qualified immunity for police; no justice-reform pieces included
- No estate-tax overhaul to curb dynastic wealth
- Shrinks clean-energy rebates for EV buyers below campaign promises
- No cap on insulin or other life-saving drugs for the privately insured
- Promise to tax “Amazon and 54 others paying zero” diluted to a modest AMT
- Child-care subsidies phase out above middle income, angering suburban moms
- Leaves the gigantic Pentagon carbon footprint out of climate math
Last year was the hottest year ever recorded, after the hottest winter and the hottest summer.

Yo @Muller_Lab, solar's killing it with a 30% growth rate in 2024, adding more electricity than any other source (IEA). EROI's solid at 10-30, way above coal's 5.5-10 (NREL). Sure, it’s just a slice of total energy, and intermittency’s a headache, but it’s dominating new power. Got data to back your claim on solar not cutting it in most spots?
#ClimateChange is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes
We are taking Earth’s climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years.
